“Here we go again. I had to leave the track with the same hamstring injury as last summer. So no World Cup in Belgrade for me,” she writes on Instagram.
Visser saw her preparation for the Summer Games in Tokyo disrupted by a tear in her left hamstring. However, she got fit just in time and made it to the final. She finished fifth in that. The injury flared up again on his return from a training camp in South Africa this winter. She again took a rest period and appeared to have recovered in time for the indoor season. “I thought my body was ready to race, but it turned out not to be the case,” she writes. The pain kicked in in the final of the 60 meter hurdles; Visser crossed the finish line twitching.
The 27-year-old from North Holland already has the next goal in her head and that is the World Cup in the open air in July in Eugene, the United States. “Fortunately, I now have more time to recover than last year and I know what to do,” said Visser.
